You are right, losing money in gambling is something that nobody can run away from, but sometimes I wonder why people take some big risks and say that it's an entertainment to them, it's either they are lying or rich because if you are enjoying when you lose thousands of dollars in a week then you need therapy..Even if you are rich there's a limit to which you can do..a lot of people gamble irresponsibly and claim they are having fun
That's what we called self-denial, still pretending that they are having fun but in reality, they already losing a lot and they already mismanaging their finances, they keep pushing thinking that they may able to recover if luck permits them to win decently, but most cases, they lose more, and like what you said, even how rich you are if you keep losing more and more that's going to create problems in the long run.
